Paraguarí Department

The Paraguarí Department covers 8,705 square kilometers of varied landscape, containing seventeen districts across hills, valleys, and agricultural lands in Paraguay.

The Department of Paraguarí gained its administrative status during the territorial reorganization of Paraguay in the early twentieth century, marking a new governance era.

The territory maintains strong Guaraní traditions through local festivals, agricultural practices, and community gatherings that represent both indigenous and Spanish heritage.

Regular bus services connect the department capital to Asunción, with the main terminal located in the center of Paraguarí city.

The department contains numerous sugar cane plantations that supply raw materials to local producers who create traditional Paraguayan sweetened products.
